But in all seriousness I would suggest taking the first 2 CCI signals after the 120FSMA reverses slopes...

I really like this new TTindy set to the 120HMA(FSMA) it gets me some lovely charts to look at, just like these right now. Wrong time of day now and most of them are probably at the end of their moves as I've missed the earlier signals but considering its a bank holiday these charts are very impressive...

This is typical of what I've been looking at today...

One of the criticism of the TTIndy set to 100lwma was that it got you to the charts too late when the move was over, which I fully accept, however with these new 120HMA settings and looking at the right time of day when the moves are starting does seem to elimante that problem..

Like I say early days but a very promising start...

{quote} Hi rockrobb Well they are all based on a similar idea, they compare each currency in one way or another and because the currencies are all related to each other it must logically show you which pair is the strongest. Well that's the theory. Now I don't know how they are all coded but the one on my screen is based on MA's you choose the MA that you like. I use the 100 because its used by traders world wide so has a chance of being relative indicative of what they are trading so therefore whats going on. The CSM that I use was coded by my...
Finally I know how it works. sorry being late in read all threads.
but a quick question, Clive, will you still consult CSW 1 min scalper with your new strategy of TTindy?

Hi Henry

I tend to use this CSM now very similar but I think its relative to whatever time chart it sits on so if its on 1 min chart shows strongest/weakest on 1min if on a daily chart displays strongest/weakest for dailys...

Heres the one I use now...

EDIT: For got to answer your question, I tend to use the TTindy as my main chart selection filter but will look at CSM for confirmation of strongest/weakest, sometimes they differ slightly and the CSM gives me a nice trade....

Just got back to my charts and this is how it looks with top 4 trenders as selected by Godsclowns TTindy...

Too late now as GBP news in 5 mins so will let that pass but I'm definitely liking this new TTindy setup as it gave me my GBPAUD trade this morning but most importantly it keeps me focused on strong trending charts. Won't let me get involved in anything thats not trending....

Now heres the crazy thing, convinced about my "gap Trade" I've ignored these 4 pairs and gone and bought GBPAUD and lost 20 pips to boot...

This system is so simple its ridiculous,I'm just trading the strongest movers on 1 min so just wait for the top 4 pairs and trade them only concentrating on the top ones.

Just look at every momentum turn from up to down, couldn't be simpler could it??? Just take the first 2 pullbacks and see what you get...

So why was I looking at GBPAUD??? because I thought I knew better than the market???

Just need the belief to trade this simple, simple system, I guess.....Sell when price is going down, buy when price is going up, not too complicated is it???

A question for you Clive: if I understand correctly, you like to trade the first couple of pullbacks of a new trend.

Are you finding that these 2 pullbacks have yet to occur (and thus are tradeable) by the time the pair appears at the top of the TTindy?

My (wholly unsubstantiated) thoughts are that by the time the trend has established enough to appear on the TTindy, the first few pullbacks may well have already occurred.

What are your experiences?

Great question and probably the biggest question hanging over the whole TTindy trading strategy.. The reason I've dropped down to the 120FSMA is that the 100lwma was exactly as you say the first two pullbacks had long gone and very often it brought you to the chart as the trend was actually fading..

Thats why I've dropped down to the 120fsma in an attempt to resolve that very issue and catch these turns much earlier in the move, of course that brings in a new danger that you are in fact selling a 5 min pullback and not the new 1 minute trend...

I'm going to test it out going forward before drawing to any conclusion but heres a trade I just took on GBPAUD now a top trender going down and as you can see I clearly caught the first CCI signal, so it worked this time...

Let me trade with this system a bit longer before I give you my definitive answer but right now I'm quite liking what its doing and its giving me some early indications it could work well, but time will tell lets see how it goes...
